Hi from France and sorry for my English… I am slowly moving some domains to DH. For now I want to keep mydomain.com web site hosted elsewhere where it is since… 1995, but to move / manage the mail for mydomain.com at dreamhost.
It looks like it work… more or less, so I wonder if I did it right… Here is what I did :

I have added a “new” mydomain.com to host from DH web panel, then I created on the panel all the email addresses currently in use @mydomain.com (only six addresses)

I can customize the DNS entries at my registrar for mydomain.com, so I did… now it looks like :

1200 is a short delay and I will change it when it works. The xxx…xx are of course the IP for the web hosting, and the other entries are what I copied from the DH panel for that domain mail…

Now here is why it work “more or less” : on the same computer, same ISP, same session, I was able to post to an address @mydomain, access the webmail.mydomain.com and get the mail on the new server, but some time later my browser was unable to find webmail.mydomain.com, and my email client was getting the mail from the former server…
Any one could help me to understand what’s going on ?

I have of course, some A name and NS entries for the domain at DH, but they shouldn’t not get in the way, or am I wrong ?
